Is it ok to get a tattoo if you are on blood thinners?

Risky: the artist punctures your epidermis and most of the dermis which may cause bleeding. In your case the bleeding ma be more than expected

Bleeding risk: The procedure will give you the risk of bleeding since your blood is thinner than most people. You should consider the risks and benefits carefully for yourself.
